During the last half of the nineteenth century, thousands of men went west in search of gold, land, or adventure - leaving
their wives to handle family, farm, and business affairs on their own. The experiences of these westering men have long been
a part of the lore of the American frontier, but the stories of their wives have rarely been told. Ten years of research into
public and private documents - including letters of couples separated during the westward movement - has enabled Linda Peavy
and Ursula Smith to tell the forgotten stories of "women in waiting." Though these wives were left more or less in limbo by
the departure of their adventuring husbands, they were hardly women in waiting in any other sense. Children had to be fed,
clothed, housed, and educated; farms and businesses had to be managed; creditors had to be paid or pacified - and, in some
cases, hard-earned butter-and-egg money had to be sent west in response to letters from broke and disillusioned husbands.
This raises some unsettling questions: How does the idea of an "allowance" from home square with our long-standing image of
the frontiersman as rugged individualist? To what extent was the westward movement supported by the paid and unpaid labor
of women back east? And how do we measure the heroics of husbands out west against the heroics of wives back home? Based on
the experiences of more than fifty women - from Abiah Hiller, whose business sense equaled or excelled her husband's, to Emma
Christie, who knew virtually nothing about the matters she was called upon to manage - Women in Waiting in the Westward Movement
offers a rare glimpse into life on the home frontier and provides new insights into fairly common, though poorly documented,
aspect of the history of the settling of the American West
